Analysis
Senegal recorded 0.0003 °C for contribution to global mean surface temperature rise from fossil sources in 2024. That is the highest value across all 174 years on record.
The figure is up 3.3% on the previous year and up 36.1% over ten years.
Over the whole period, contribution to global mean surface temperature rise from fossil sources in Senegal peaked at 0.0003 °C in 2024 and was at its lowest, 0 °C, in 1851.
That places Senegal 123rd out of 214 countries with data for 2024, putting it in the middle of the range.
The series is highly variable year to year, so single readings are best treated with caution.
